Using SyncToy to Synchronize Directories/Machines - view details
SyncToy is a new tool from Microsoft that helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers quickly and easily. This is a free PowerToy from MSFT that gives you the chance to copy, move, and synchronize multiple sets of directories at the same time and it can even combine files from two folders. It can also rename and delete in one folder based on the rename and delete actions in another folder. SyncToy keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the target folder. Synchronize your laptop to your local hard drive with SyncToy.

Highlights from this video:
  • Managing multiple file types with SyncToy
  • Keeping local directories in sync
  • Keeping remote directories in sync
  • Synchronizing USB drives
and much more
